General manager Dave Gettleman and Shurmur have a lot of work to do and a lot of tough decisions to make moving forward as they try to turn around a 3-13 Giants team.

They will certainly need to fill out the remainder of the coaching staff while also addressing many issues and needs on the roster.

Here are five situations Shurmur will have to address early on:

How to approach fixing the offensive line?

Over the last two years, the Giants offense has looked underwhelming to say the least. Only the Cleveland Browns were worse than New York when it came to points per game and a lot of that blame has put on the shoulders of the offensive line and rightfully so.

The Giants need to get better at the position and Dave Gettleman has made it clear he intends to prioritize that this offseason. The team needs to get better in both pass protection and run blocking if they wish to regain their competitive edge.

Whether they do through the NFL Draft or through free agency, it will be interesting to see how the Giants address one of their most dire needs. They will also need to figure out what to do with Ereck Flowers, who has received a lot of blame for the problems along the line.

The Giants’ 2015 first-round pick played better (at times) this season, but both tackle position remain a legitimate issue. Perhaps a move to right tackle is in Flowers’ future.
